A family came to Petsmart Saturday hoping to fill the hole left in their lives by their recently departed 13 year old Golden Retriever. Must have been a big hole because they decided to adopt two puppies to fill it! We love when siblings can stay together. This sleepy duo, Pop and Tart, must have thought they were dreaming when they woke up in their new forever home! Thank you for adopting!

Thank goodness not everyone’s pet criteria is “small” and “fluffy”! Brinks is neither but he’s a perfectly precious pup! This 60+ lb. pit bull found himself running out of time and options at a local animal control facility. We stepped in to rescue him and he’s waited the last 7 months for someone to want…
Long time HPF resident, Stewie (solid black kitty), went into a trial adoption a couple of weeks ago. We’re happy to report that his new mom signed on the dotted line this past Sunday. Stewie is officially part of the family. Happy purrs sweet boy!
